Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

Good, good... You guys are really ruthless towards the undercover agents in the Demonic Path.

I didn't realize it before, but now I see I've walked into a den of wolves. They're all ruthless and cruel, leaving no way out for anyone.

They're even more ruthless than those from the Demonic Path. At least Lu An would interrogate the people from the Heavenly Demon Sect, but these people aren't even interrogated; they're just killed as soon as they're caught.

This was the last person, but he remained very calm, making Lu An unconsciously feel as if he had some kind of backup plan.

"Heh, I didn't expect that after all these years of being an undercover agent, you guys still managed to find me."

The man raised his head, his expression one of utter desolation: "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you. But I never expected you to find out like this."

Lu An asked in confusion, "How was he discovered?"

Another disciple said coldly, "When the drinks were being distributed just now, everyone took coconut juice except him."

Lu An was bewildered: "Huh? What does this have to do with undercover work?"

An elder stepped forward and said, "Elder Lu, you don't know this, but refusing to drink coconut juice means you're an undercover agent!"

? ? ? ? ?

What the heck? What the hell?

"What's the point of this?"

"That doesn't make sense. In short, if someone doesn't drink coconut juice, then they're an undercover agent!"

So the executioner pinned the undercover agent, who refused to drink coconut juice, against a tree stump and raised his gleaming broadsword.

"Hmph, I won't just give up like that!"

The next moment, a very catchy tune came from his waist, and everyone froze instantly.

"If you can't perform, learn to perform; just do the same poses as Ah Ge."

A sound came from his waist, and when everyone looked over, they found it was an unknown black stone.

Someone sensed something was wrong and roared, "Damn it! Kill him and destroy that stone!"

But it was too late. Everyone felt their bodies moving involuntarily, and they even started carrying things around them.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I don't know, I just suddenly felt like dancing, and even wanted to carry things."

One by one, they picked up things, carried what they didn't have, and even carried their companions, and then danced a lively dance, forming a circle.

Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap...

The music started playing again, and even Yu Wanqing couldn't help but jump up.

The man who was about to be beheaded was about to stand up triumphantly when the broadsword suddenly fell and severed his head.

With his last shred of control over his body, the executioner severed his head.

"I can't take it anymore!"

Before the executioner could even remove the recording stone from the man's body, he raised his sword and joined the others in dancing.

Lu An also jumped up unconsciously, and even reached out to pick up Yu Wanqing next to him.

Yu Wanqing exclaimed in astonishment, "Elder Lu, what are you doing?!"

Lu An said helplessly, "Sect Master Yu, I can't control myself!"

So Lu An picked up Yu Wanqing and she covered her face shyly. But the music had a kind of magic; once she was picked up, it was hard to control her body.

On the airship, everyone formed a circle in a bizarre way, raised objects, and began to dance.

From then on, this became a taboo topic that no one dared to discuss during the entire airship journey.

Chapter Eighty-Two: The Scoundrel's Ecstasy

"You mean Yu Wanqing from the Yuantian Sacred Sect will come to Yunyao Valley in person?"

"The scout reported that everything he said was true! But he disappeared right after he reported it!"

"Have you already spoken with the people from the Heavenly Demon Sect?"

"We've already spoken with the Heavenly Demon Sect, and they said they'll send Elder An."

"Send Elder An? An Xu? The one who took drugs to reach the Tribulation Transcending stage? Is that enough to defeat Yu Wanqing?"

"It might not be enough..."

The elders of the Hidden Fiend Sect fell silent.

If the Heavenly Demon Sect doesn't send anyone, then they'll have to temporarily withdraw from Cloud Fiend Valley. But they've already obtained the medicinal herbs they needed, so they can probably make their escape now.

The elder touched the storage ring on his hand, which contained a pile of medicinal herbs picked from the Cloud Medicine Valley.

There were also various treasures looted from the disciples guarding Yunyao Valley.

The disciple guarding Yunyao Valley was hanging behind him, his body covered in wounds.

"The Righteous Alliance has come to rescue you, are you happy?"

"Heh, you demons of the Hidden Fiend Sect, Alliance Leader Yu and the Ten Great Masters will not let you go. You will all die!"

A disciple covered in wounds raised his head, spat on the ground, and coughed up blood.

"Hmph, stubborn as a mule?"

With a swift stroke, the disciple's head fell to the ground, blood gushing from his neck like a fountain.

The disciples who weren't hung up watched in terror; they were the valley-guarding disciples who had defected to the Hidden Fiend Sect.

Luckily, I sought refuge with them early, otherwise I would have lost my life too.

"Elder Yu, they haven't arrived yet. Sacrificing these few people will allow your strength to temporarily break through?"

Those people were instantly startled. They looked up and stared at the person in front of them in fear.

"They're just a few Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Even if they're drained dry, it won't be a big deal."

Elder Yu glanced at these people with a disdainful tone.

Upon hearing this, the group immediately felt relieved.

But the next moment, they felt themselves being lifted up by a force, and then their cultivation and life were continuously drained away.

"No, sirs, what are you doing..."

"Even though you're only at the Nascent Soul stage, every little bit counts!" Elder Yu stretched out his hand and said in a sinister tone, "You all have to die! You all have to die!"

Before long, the group was completely drained of their energy, turning into dried-up corpses that collapsed on the ground in a gruesome manner.

The villain was extremely vicious, and judging from his appearance, he was likely killed by a sorceress from the Hehuan Sect.

"Not enough? Is there more?" Elder Yu asked sternly, sensing the power within his body.

"Yes, there's plenty! I'll make sure you have enough of this kind of ingredient!"

With a wave of his hand, the space around him distorted, and then a huge group of Cloud Medicine Valley disciples appeared, kneeling on the ground, trembling.

"Spare us!"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't be killed if you surrendered?"

"Damn you demonic sorcerers, you are dishonest! You will all die a horrible death!"

Insults and curses rose and fell, but Elder Yu paid no attention to them. He revealed a sinister smile on his hooked-nosed face, then stretched out his hand, and a powerful suction force appeared instantly.

After Elder Yu finished absorbing the energy, all that remained on the ground was a pile of desiccated corpses, and his body was covered with malevolent energy.

At the same time, thunderclouds in the sky gradually gathered, tribulation lightning rapidly condensed, and a power of heavenly Dao quickly rose up.

"First level of tribulation... I'm about to undergo tribulation, you all better hide!"

Elder Yu looked at the tribulation clouds and lightning gathering above his head, his body radiating an intensely dense aura of bloodlust.

However, the time it took for the tribulation lightning to condense was obviously much longer. The rumbling thunder and the dazzling tribulation lightning seemed to shatter the sky, and countless birds and beasts scattered and fled in fright.

A member of the Hidden Fiend Sect looked at the tribulation lightning in the sky and asked in fear:

"Sir, what's going on?"

The person who prepared the disciples guarding Yunyao Valley for Elder Yu said:

"Elder Yu has absorbed the cultivation of too many people, and his bloodthirsty aura is too strong, which has attracted the rejection of the Heavenly Dao."

"Therefore, the power of the tribulation lightning has been enhanced. Although this method can quickly improve one's cultivation level and avoids the superficial strength that occurs with drugs, the power of the tribulation lightning during the tribulation will increase exponentially."

The person next to him nodded, understanding everything.

Elder Yu, whose body was covered in bloodthirsty aura, had committed too many killings, so even though he had only reached the Void Refinement stage, the power of the tribulation lightning had become very strong.

"But Heaven always leaves a glimmer of hope, so as long as you get through this tribulation lightning, you can still successfully advance to the Tribulation Transcending stage."

The official looked at the tribulation lightning in the sky and spoke slowly.

This is a true madman who actually improves his own cultivation by absorbing the cultivation of others; he has now angered the Heavenly Dao.

"My lord, the Righteous Alliance's flying boat is already very close to Cloud Medicine Valley. He is undergoing his tribulation here. What if the Righteous Alliance seizes an opportunity?"

"What's there to be afraid of? It's the law of tribulation. Whoever enters will be struck down along with everyone else, and the damage will be doubled!"

Elder Yu prepared to undergo the tribulation, while the others quickly retreated, moving away from the area where the tribulation was taking place.

…………

The atmosphere on the entire airship was somewhat eerie; everyone was looking at each other with an indescribable sense of unease in their eyes.

Everyone stayed at their posts, some keeping watch, some maintaining the airship's operation, some sharpening their swords, and others sharpening their knives.

That was so embarrassing.

Yu Wanqing, on the other hand, looked nervously into the distance, her face slightly flushed.

Lu An also leaned nervously against the handrail on the deck of the airship, unsure of what to say.

The entire airship was filled with people dancing while holding things, and they were playing such addictive music. If word got out, wouldn't the Righteous Alliance want to annihilate them all?

But it doesn't matter. Even if there are still undercover agents, they wouldn't dare to spread the word, since they would also lose face.

"There's tribulation lightning above Cloud Medicine Valley! It's very strong! It's probably a Tribulation Transcending stage expert undergoing tribulation!"

One of them, with a third eye activated, suddenly transmitted a message to Yu Wanqing.

Upon hearing this, Yu Wanqing became serious, and then her divine sense spread out, reaching far and wide.

The astonishing power of the heavenly tribulation quickly appeared within Yu Wanqing's divine sense detection range.

Under the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, there was a dense aura of bloodlust.

"Such a dense aura of bloodlust, even repelling the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, what's going on?"

"I guess... My God, did these demonic cultivators kill all the disciples guarding Cloud Medicine Valley?"

"Damn demonic cultivator, his methods are so ruthless!"

Some people realized what might have happened in Cloud Medicine Valley and grabbed their weapons, extremely tense.

Yu Wanqing also took the pill, which replenished the spiritual energy in her body.

The flying boat arrived near Cloud Medicine Valley, and the disciples of Yuantian Holy Sect took off on their swords and flew towards the outer perimeter of Cloud Medicine Valley.

They need to surround Cloud Medicine Valley to prevent any demonic cultivators from escaping from it.

Several elders also led their teams to Yunyao Valley.

Including Yu Wanqing.

"Elder Lu, what are you going to do?"

"There may be demonic cultivators in the Cloud Medicine Valley ahead, but the flying boat is also an important base for us, so I plan to stay and guard it!"

Lu An made a decisive decision to stay, while making himself sound righteous and as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

I'm so bad at this, all I can do is pretend I don't know anything. Why would I go and fight against you Transcending Tribulation stage cultivators? I'm not going.

"Alright, then you and Elder Lu will stay here and keep watch, understand?"

Yu Wanqing nodded, ordered some disciples to stay behind, and then led the other disciples inside.

"Disciple, obey the order!"
